Flagyl (metronidazole) for Dental Abscess: It is a good antibiotic for anaerobic bacteria. I prescribe it for my patients in conjunction with another antibiotic for the aerobic bacteria (example Amoxil).

Flagyl (metronidazole) for Bacterial Infection: I had a vaginal infection, and was prescribed Flagyl to cure it. I hated the immediate awful taste in the mouth, and it dissolved immediately upon hitting my tongue. I only experienced the awful taste and some slight stomach upset as side effects. The infection began to clear up after 3 days of a 7 day prescription. I recommend it, and drink something fruity with it. Also, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL AT ALL while on this medication, OR FOR 3 DAYS AFTER YOU STOP TAKING IT. You WILL have severe vomiting, heaving and dizziness.

Flagyl (metronidazole) for Bacterial Infection: I have been on this medicine for 3 days. I have insomnia (normally a good sleeper) and headaches since the treatment began. The infection is going away, but I don't know how much longer I can take this medicine.

Flagyl (metronidazole) for Bacterial Infection: I had C-Dif which is a bacteria which is resistant from too many antibiotics. I caught this in the hospital. I was never so sick. Betweem losing weight and the vomiting and diarrhea I thought I was going to die. Flagyl did help but took many months.

Flagyl (metronidazole) for Bacterial Infection: I took this in February of 2008 and in December 2008 I was diagnosed with the same bacterial infection again. The doctor said this is the best medicine available to kill the bacteria. The pills are horrible to take since they are not coated. I've experienced the metallic taste and stomach upset feelings. However, if they work I am willing to withstand this temporary inconvenience.
